A decade of leadership in geotechnical engineering for Chile’s energy sector
GEOINTEC Chile has consolidated its position as a benchmark in engineering studies for renewable energy projects in the South American country, reaching a historic milestone of over 800 specialized studies and 300 completed projects since its first foray into the sector in 2015.
The company’s trajectory began in 2015 with ground engineering for its first solar project located in the iconic Atacama Desert. Since then, GEOINTEC has expanded its operations throughout Chile, from Iquique to Punta Arenas-Magallanes, providing support to both local and international clients. Over this decade, the company has demonstrated remarkable adaptability in the face of changing design standards and regulatory frameworks in the energy sector.
